Mesut Ozil Will Flourish On The Back Of Criticism - Here's Why

It's hard for a player that cost a huge amount of money to play consistently well in a different league, with different players, in a different system and with the media constantly on his case. The German has faced criticism a lot this season and in big chunks at varied stages in the season. As a result, people are questioning whether Ozil was worth the £42.5 million price tag.

This sparked a number of different people leaping to the defence of the German. That included team mates such as Mathieu Flamini, Lukas Podolski and Per Mertesacker. Recently, people outside of Arsenal have given their views on the attacking midfielder.

The latest to weigh in was the German national team coach, Joachim Low. ESPN have reported the interview that Low held with BILD Sport on Ozil and he stated that the Arsenal star can handle the criticism.

I'm going one step further and suggesting that Ozil will deliver before the close of the season. Despite the critics, Ozil has featured highly in the amount of chances created and passing accuracy. He has recorded a number of direct contributions in the shape of four goals and nine assists in 21 league games.

He faced intense criticism after the league game against Liverpool at Anfield after a non-existent performance but partly redeemed himself in the following few games with productive game.

He has the statistics to help his case and if he can apply the shining performances to go with it then he certainly will take the criticism and shove it back in the faces of the people who doubted.

In my eyes, he can win the league for the Gunners.
